Administrator
Detect, take into account,

By administrators we mean such key persons in the federal and regional healthcare system as chief medical officers of hospitals and chiefs of large departments, public servants from the Ministry of Health, chief payroll and non-payroll specialists.
To help you communicate with this category of specialists, we will analyze how Administrator makes decisions, organizes purchases in general, draws up a particular request, interacts with pharm. companies, mass media, evaluates the situation in the market, influences and monitors implementation of programs and decisions.
We will detect administrator’s personality, place in the healthcare structure, specifics of influence on personnel policy, choice of financing channels, standards and clinical recommendations, activities of non-profit organizations, patient organizations and target programs.
We will define the most important aspects of searching for and making a decision, moments in communication with a patient and surrounding persons, factors of therapy choice, aspects of drug cost perception.
We will tell you who his/her councilors are, how administrator approves decisions, persons he/she cooperates with or doesn’t work at all.
